Say it ain’t Zo.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing a potential revolt from his Democratic Socialists of America comrades, The Post has learned.
More than 200 NYC-DSA members have signed a resolution calling out the mayor for his reversal on homeless encampment sweeps during the recent cold snap.
The budding grassroots movement within the larger organization — said to have 12,000 members — his urging Hizzoner to take “alternative, non-carceral actions” instead of reviving the policy to get homeless people off the streets.
“We’re heartbroken by the loss of several New Yorkers who have frozen to death in the ongoing extreme weather crisis,” the “NYC-DSA Stand With Homeless New Yorkers” resolution reads.
“And we’re alarmed that right-wing media has weaponized this tragedy to justify the complete disempowerment of homeless New Yorkers.”
Mamdani had promised to stop the street encampment sweeps championed by his predecessor, Mayor Eric Adams — but reversed course earlier this month after at least 19 New Yorkers died outside in the cold weather, the majority of them from hypothermia.
Under the rebooted Mamdani administration policy, the outreach workers would follow up with homeless people for seven days in a row before moving forward with tearing down their encampments.
But the about-face received a frigid welcome from his fellow members of the NYC-DSA, which boasts at the top of its website: “We just elected Zohran Mamdani as NYC Mayor!!!!!” along with a call to “get involved.”
Members vented in private group chats, obtained by The Post, about how the Democratic socialist darling chose to be “a class enemy.”
“The way I see it, as soon as somebody is elected to office they are class enemies, regardless of [SIC] if they are good people,” one person wrote.
Another felt let down since they believed the sweeps issue was the “one thing Zohran wouldn’t back down on.”
Others said that they “wouldn’t have canvassed” for Mamdani during the campaign — or even joined the DSA at all — had they known he was going to bend the knee so easily.
Members also vented about how NYC-DSA co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mauser defended the mayor’s policy in a Feb. 23 interview with Brian Lehrer.
Their interview was “deeply upsetting a lot of people in our coalition” and was something “we are going to have to have an internal struggle about,” members said in messages.
Neither City Hall nor NYC-DSA responded to a request for comment.
Mamdani has defended his reversal on the sweeps, claiming his revamped policy would be more effective than that of Adams.
“I made a decision with my team to put a pause on that prior administration’s policy as we started to develop our own policy that would generate far better outcomes for the city,” he told reporters when pressed on the switcheroo Feb. 18.
Homeless advocates, including the prominent organization, Coalition for the Homeless, were also enraged, releasing a scathing joint statement with the Legal Aid Society after the reversal was first reported by The Post.
“His pledge to discontinue homeless sweeps is another broken promise,” the organization said.
